The Crown have always been among that elite group of bands to showcase an almost uncanny ability, one they share with a number of other gifted outfits mostly hailing from Sweden, it seems: they effortlessly infuse their brand of death metal with insane amounts of melody without ever sounding calculated, soft or melodramatic. That is why slapping the melodic death metal label on their music, which is frequently done, just doesn't describe The Crown correctly.

By the end of the album, you are left with shakes and delirium tremors trying to understand what just happened.

The musicianmanship on display with The Crown's fifth album is incredible. In addition, the impact is everlasting. What these eleven tracks bring to the table are, for starters, an impressive barrage of everything from blast beats to thrash beats to percussive time signatures which are impossible to forget.
